Depending on the time period and place in Asia, rainbows generally are a bridge between the heavens and the earth either as good fortune, love, or deathIsn't a rainbow a bad omen in Japanese culture? I have a bad feeling about Ash in this episode...He could be walking towards his own doom.
Yeah it made me extremely sad, but ig it's because they wanted Iwane for the last action heavy ep so as to speak, with the Pokemon hunter episode. Still kinda sad to see them not there for the endWhat a terrible shame Asada and Iwane aren't handling this episode. More than anyone they deserved to be the ones to handle the final episode of the Satoshi side of the franchise.
That's what I thought too.Personal opinions aside, wouldn’t it make more sense for the OLM in-house team, which will likely include some staff from the first ever episode, to handle the last episode of their show?
Yeah!So, it seems like people here do have sentimental value for the animators too! I've never given a thought about this before, this just shows how this fandom cares about real-world people too, the ones responsible for handling the anime. Salute to you all!
The dedication that man has to all this. Bless him.I’m just glad it’s Tomioka on deck for the last episode, man has been at helm for nearly the whole ride I wouldn’t want anyone else on this episode
TPC wanted to leave all the attention to your birthday!Pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.....
I just realized this could've aired on March 17th to celebrate my Irish heritage and now I'm angry

It's because of them that I've taken the whole staff list thing more seriously. People like them tend to make things way more interesting than they have any eight to be.Tomioka's scripts, Asada's storyboarding and directing and Iwane's animation are so under-appreciated both in the Anipoke fandom but also the greater animation fandom. Nobody is out there talking about the work Iwane has managed to do despite literally accomplishing the impossible task of consistenly key aninating entire episodes with good animation for 25 years.
There will probably be people like that. I will probably cry a river tho.I want people to tell me with a straight face that they felt no kind of emotions from ep 11.
